5 Things To Do In Kuantan, Pahang

There are so many places to visit, food to eat, activities to do in Kuantan. Here are top 5.

1. Visit Beaches

There are a few nice and beautiful beaches in Kuantan.

Teluk Cempedak or just TC, as the locals will call it, is a must to visit. The beach is only less than 10 minutes drive away from the town (5km). The white sandy beach attracts visitors from all over the world.

Cherating beach is another very popular beach among tourists and locals. It's located 45km north of Kuantan. The famous Club Med resort is on this beach.

Another beach that you may want to go to is Pantai Batu Hitam (literally means Black Stone Beach). This beach is not as popular as Teluk Cempedak or Cherating, but it's worth a visit for its unique grey to bluish black stones of various shapes and sizes.

2 Shop for Dried Seafood

Salted fish, dried oysters, anchovies, scallops, and many other dried seafood is a must-buy when you visit Kuantan.

There are few shops selling dried seafood here. Avoid those located in the town area. They are more expensive than the one located slightly further from town.

My favourite is Sin Kee Hung. It's the biggest, freshest and cheapest place to shop.

3 Curry Noodle for Breakfast

The must eat food when you are in Kuantan is curry noodle. Restaurant Hoi Yin located at Teluk Cempedak is famous with the tourists. But you will see more locals having their breakfast at Teng Haw Kedai Kopi located at Jalan Teluk Sisek. Both places is always full of customers. Be prepared to wait for your ready.

4 Visit Sg Lembing Tin Mines

Sg Lembing tin mines is known to be the longest and deepest underground mine in the world. It operated for about 100 years starting from 1886. The mine is located under tropical rainforest, giving visitors unique cool climate in the tunnels.

5 Visit Bukit Gambang WaterPark

The only water park in east coast of Malaysia, Gambang water park offers non stop excitement and fun. There are wave pool (largest in Malaysia), river raft rides and slides for both adults and kids.

Check out another 5 must visit when you are in Kuantan in my next post.

Pantai Batu Hitam

Pantai Batu Hitam or Black Stone Beach is located 5km north of Kuantan town. The beach gets its name from a unique feature along its landscape - large beds of rocks, varying in shades from grey to bluish black, carpet parts of the sandy shoreline

The beach is surrounded by Malay villages and most of the visitors who enjoy the quiet and peaceful environment are locals. But do not miss this beach when you are visiting Kuantan.
